OK, I though something was wrong. By now I don't know what is the URL I
have to use. I have SSL set up. It's not https://servername/svn/project, but
I don't
know with what I have to replace <servername>.

I found another procedure
(http://web.burca.name/online_docs/svn-handbook.html)
 to install Apache with Subversion and it included the line
ServerName svn.myserver.org
in the httpd.conf . Do I need to include it or not?

Thanks.

Oh, by the way, in Chapter 3, at the end, point 5, it is said to delete the
lines <IfDefine SSL> and <IfDefine>. The last one should be </IfDefine>
